custom forms - data collection

[limelites]

My website site has been down for several hours. I have no way of contacting anyone nor can i find out what is happening, when the site is likely to be back up!! Help please !!!!!

This really isn't the place to post something like this. You need to speak to your hosting provider. Surely they have a phone.

Does anyone know if its possible to have an email sent to the customer. If the custom form did this before it does not seem to work any longer.

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody knows how I can install a very simple contact form in my checkout success page?

Well, I have sort of created the *form* already but I'm not able to make it submit to email.

I would like the form to submit the text entered to my shop email address (in the same way as the ordinary ZenCart contact form) and preferably a copy email to a promotion company that I am working with?

Here is my checkout success page (although I don't know if it's possible to view without being logged in et al):

Any help would be much appreciated.

I have a form that I am currently using on my site for newsletter subscriptions. The top form is for subscribing with double opt-in and when the Subscribe button is clicked an email is sent to me with Subscribe in the subject line and the customer is taken to a page thanking them for subscribing and reminding them that they need to click the link in an email they receive in order to confirm the subscription.

When they click the link in the confirmation email, they are then taken to the welcome page. If email cannot be verified, other pages will load, etc.
The bottom form is a single opt-out and when the Unsubscribe button is clicked an email is sent to me with Unsubscribe in the subject line and a pop up screen appears to the customer stating they've been removed.

So my question is...How can I have ONE form with both the Subscribe and Unsubscribe buttons sending the appropriate subject lines & required information to my specified email address (not the cart owner email) and have all the pages load inside my cart?

Is it possible to modify the band_signup to handle all this?
My current set-up can be seen here:

Thanks!

Suggest using the example posted earlier in this post for how to put your form in the proper Zen Cart format, and NOT to use an iframe for your form..

Hi Diva,

I know this is an old post but you've been an amazing help with my other issues...so I thought I'd see if you could help.

I'm trying to create a form for data submission, I don't know what the heck I'm doing. I've managed to duplicate the contact us page and add the fields I want. However, when I submit I don't know what happens.

I don't need it validated, it would be nice but seeing that I don't know how to code forms it's not necessary. I just want a simple submission form. Any ideas? Thank you!!!

All I can suggest is reading through this thread thoroughly and trying to use the band form files that were posted in this thread as a place to start.. You can use those files and compare them to your modified contact us form to see what you need to include (or remove).. This is how I created the custom survey form I used for my client (which is what brought me to this thread initially)..

Hi Diva,

Thank you for the response. I've changed my files several times. Originally I followed the band signup code...then i realized it was from 2004...the coding was all wrong for the php that zen cart utilizes now.

I've tried to do a search on a band signup add on for the files but I didn't see anything. I did notice a zip file in this thread. Would I download that and make the modifications needed to create a new form for my website?

Thank you again!

There are several zip file examples posted in this thread along with LOT of helpful code and other information on how to tweak your custom forms (including making them work with SSL, working with Captcha mods, getting dropdowns to work -- both from static values and a queried array)..

I know this is a LONG thread, but I suggest reading through ALL of it before you begin.. It's what I did when I first showed up and posted my first question in this thread.. I read this WHOLE thread, made notes of tips and tricks posted by others, took a look at all the ALL of the various zip files and other code that had been posted here BEFORE I began tackling the task of creating a custom form.. If this is new for you, don't shortcut this suggested approach, you will need ALL of this information.. HTH..

Thank you so much. The little bit of information you gave me about the band signup mod helped tremendously! I lost about 4 hours yesterday over this. Ahhhh! I was running myself batty!

I can't thank you enough for your help.

You're welcome..

That's why I stress two things.. Read the readme files, and read the support thread.. In the time I've been here in this community this has SAVED me more time than I might have "lost" reading through and studying these sources.. I a fan of the "do it right the first time" school of thought.. So I don't take shortcuts (or look for 'em) when it comes to installing mods.. I read, backup, merge, upload, test.. rinse and repeat as necessary.. Good luck.. just take your time, and you'll have a functioning form in no time..
